I think it's my fault for not understanding the synopsis properly.. but I don't like when books just try to explain something with God. Don't get me wrong I believe in God - a higher presence - but i think a book should be for everyone, not just for those religious. I've listened to the first 2 chapters and it felt like it was trying to get me to join a cult.1 person found this helpful

This book contains so much truth about the Bible. Anxiety comes but you can certainly choose how to view it. Paul was living a very tough and possibly anxious life but He chose to rejoice. He knew the weight of God's Words compared to how light the difficulty was. He knew that God is in control so he didn't let anxiety take over him. I love this book. Thank you, Jesus. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Finished this audiobook with grateful tears! How selfish could I have been forgetting of everything God has done for me. Not trusting in Him 100% had placed me in a victim place, scared, and the most exhausted way of living. Can't say how grateful I am to God for the opportunity to read and listen to this book!
Thanks to my boyfriend Eric for giving me access to read this book and for being an example of a transformed person in Glory's trust! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Certainly plenty of wisdom about the power of prayer, gratitude, facing today with today’s resources, etc to respond to anxiety - and a recognition of the value of counseling and medication - but it still felt a little too “faith will take care of your anxiety!” for my liking. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

As I always struggle with anxiety, I have read a couple of books on managing anxiety, and this book was my favorite so far! I liked how the author integrated the love for God as a relief from anxiety. As a religious person, I liked finding peace and building a connection with God. However, not only this but there are also other methods of dealing with intrusive thoughts unrelated to religion at all(for those of you who are atheists), such as mindfulness techniques, etc. However, I still believe even though you have read the book, if you want to get something valuable from it, you have to practice at least one of the practices they mentioned in this book, and only then can you realize the importance of this book. Also, there are many stories of real people who utilized the practices from this book and saw immediate results afterward, which gives you hope that you too soon can learn to manage your anxiety, and it will get easier! Just a little reminder for those who suffer from anxiety: remember you are not alone; many people struggle the same as you are; just keep going on no matter what, no pain, no gain, right?
Do you want to regret all the things you could not do because of the anxiety? OF COURSE NO, go for it, even though you are in pain; believe me, you will thank yourself later! At least you will know that you gave your best in this life; for me, it became my purpose to give my best and not regret it in the end! Go for it! I believe in you! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Another masterpiece by Max Lucado. With divine wisdom and dry humour, max dissect the plague of anxiety, which has been troubling humanity from the beginning of time. Masterfully Max dissect, and prescribes the only cure available. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I needed this book today. I find myself in circumstances beyond my control or making, and this book has helped ground my anxious thoughts around the true nature and promises of God. We are not alone, we can take captive every thought, we are loved, there are angels watching over us, there is a purpose for our condition. Rejoice in the Lord and in all things give thanks. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
